My Story

Mel is a fun loving kid who loves to laugh, and will use her smile and charm to get her out of anything. Mel's life was almost cut short when she suffocated on a tumor in her throat. After 2 operations and 6 months of chemo, Mel is cancer free.The money raised by St.Baldrick's saves children's lives everyday.
